I use the exact same definition that BILLIONS of people on this planet use: the word "God" refers to an intelligent conscious being who created the universe. And the most important part is intelligent and conscious and being! Calling anything less "God" is a betrayal of the language. I do NOT use the vague definitions embraced by some members of this list and a few professional philosophers who are more interested in words than ideas. You can make words mean anything you want, I could say "Maxwell's Equations are a funny standup comedian", all I'd have to do is change the meaning of "funny standup comedian", and it would require less dramatic surgery to English than to calling some amorphous blob of nothing that can't think or feel "God".
